*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team green. Although DH is starting to waiver.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Good, we've had our names picked out for a while. Clara and Henry. Although, like everyone else, I'm getting nervous that they may pick up in popularity. Is it bad that when I see either on the baby names board in a poll I always click a different option in hopes that there won't be as many Claras or Henrys out there? : /
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just in that fun time where my symptoms are starting to leave and I'm not feeling any movement yet so basically I've become doppler obsessed. And then I'm trying to not use the doppler very often because, you know, not much research on the effects and then I feel guilty and then its just a fun downward spiral from there.
How are you doing picking out a name? We'll wait to discuss names further after we find out what we're having. We've had a name for each picked out, but I don't think we'll settle on one until we see LO.
Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just glad to be over most of the MS and moving into the 2nd tri. Looking forward to the "honeymoon" stage of pregnancy!
So many later due dates!! I feel so young on my BMB...and now so far on this thread I'm like the "oldest" one! lol
*How far along are you? 27 + 2
*Which birth month board/due date? July 31!
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink!!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We're naming her after our maternal grandmothers. I had picked out the name YEARS ago to be my maternal grandmother's name for her first name, and my mother's middle name for her middle name. Eh...compromise.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Baby moves a LOT...and rather than "kicks" it feels like she's rolling and flipping. It's just so amazing to watch my stomach move lol but she NEVER lets me video it! I don't know HOW she knows!!!
@jhems776 I have ADD as well and don't have much advice but seriously feel your pain. My grades in school are in serious danger. I do like to keep a tally system to keep me on track (I make a tally for every 30 minutes I spend cleaning or studying, among other things, and I'm supposed to get a certain number of tallies each week), but at this point I'm even sucking at that. At this point, my only hope against procrastination is sheer terror.
@missameliapond - Amelia was at the top of our list too, but DH has a goddaughter with that name so it's out. I didn't realize it had become so popular. Sorry that messes up your plan, but selfishly it makes me feel better about not being able to use it.
How far along are you? 17 weeks
What birth month board/dd? 10/10
Team blue or pink? PINK! Thanks to harmony test, we know early.
Names? I love Elloise, but DH isn't on board. We both are pretty happy with Florence, so that will likely be it.
What are you excited about? Just booked my anatomy scan, which is in a month. It is on DH's birthday and we are leaving for a short baby moon/friend's out of town wedding right after the scan. Can't wait!
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We are team green! I don't have any idea what the sex of this baby might end up being. People keep asking me but I have no idea.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We are pretty set that baby will be named either Jacob (nn Jake) or Margaret (nn Maggie). DH still has to check with his cousin (whose name is Jake) to make sure we're not stepping on any toes.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Today is my first baby shower and I'm actually really nervous about it. I think seeing the baby stuff start to pile up in our apartment is going to make things feel so real. Right now we have a very small box of baby items in a corner and that's it. But I'm also very excited to celebrate the baby with my work friends!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Like @missameliapond & @mrscorker Amelia is at the top of our girls list, I don't care if it's popular. If that's the name we want than that's what we will choose. Lincoln is our top boy name. Everything is still up in the air until we find out the sex. We will probably narrow down to 2-3 names and then choose it at birth.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? just nervous over here since we didn't hear the hb on the Doppler at 10 weeks. Next appointment is may 24, hopefully we will hear it then.
This will be my last grad check in since I'm having a baby next week!! Just wanted to wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies and also sending best wishes to all those still trying for their bfps. I'm sure I'll be back on the ttgp board in the next year or so as we work on our sib set
@m6agua don't worry if the name is popular. Ours (Harper) just made the top ten for the first time ever. I'm a lil bummed since it is a name I have liked for years but... Oh well. I figure there are soooo many names now, it's not like the 80s when there were a million Jennifers. She might have another Amelia or two in her class but she won't be over run wth Amelias!
I'm super late to the party- crazy week so far! I posted here pretty regularly from Mother's Day weekend 2015 until February/March.
*How far along are you? 13 weeks, 4 days
*Which birth month board/due date? November 11
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We had the Harmony genetic screening and should get results next week.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Not stressing about it right now until we know if it's a boy or girl. No use in arguing over both types of names!
*Questions, concerns or other?
Not really just excited to hit the 2nd trimester
Anything else exciting to share?
After using Letrozole* I had a big cyst on left ovary. It was 8...mm? Whatever metric they use to measure, it was 8 something. As of last week it's down to 3 so the fear of ovarian torsion is gone!
*This doesn't happen to everyone, but want to share since many TTGPers may consider ovulation induction in the future. It limited my activity in the first trimester and caused abdominal tenseness, but I was fine other than that.
Good luck ladies!
Me: 31; DH: 31 NTNP: May 2015 TTC #1: late August 2015 PCOS Dx: January 2016, starting Femara Feb 2016 BFP: 2/29/16 - Happy Leap Day!
*How far along are you? I literally found out an hour ago that I'm pregnant!!! My husband doesn't even know yet!
*Which birth month board/due date? It should be about January 19, 2017.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Well, I WANT a girl (it would be the first girl on both sides of our family) and he wants a boy.
*How are you doing picking out a name? we've talked names for a while we have a girls name I LOVE but DH decided he doesn't love it as much right now. Boy name is harder for us
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have a really fun way planned to tell DH. I made a scrapbook box (it's a box made of card stock, with 3 layers of photos of our family baby's that we love - nephew, cousins kids) that has a poem in the middle that tells him he's going to be a daddy. I can't wait to give it to him!!
Question - I have a bridesmaid get together for my best friend who will be getting married (I'm MOH) this Saturday and know there will be drinks. How do I avoid them without seeming obvious? I'm thinking either I make the drinks (mimosas and wine slushies) and leave the alcohol out of mine, or sneak it down a drain a little at a time? Any thoughts?
Saw I was tagged earlier in this thread but I never got the notification. Super weird. Better late than never I guess:
*How far along are you? 15 weeks, 6 days
*Which birth month board/due date? Oct 16/October 28
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? I think we are officially team green! DH has said he's okay not finding out at the anatomy scan and I'd rather just keep it a surprise.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Team green is double the work on this front! We're tossing ideas out there and we have some frontrunners but nothing is set in stone. My goal is to have 2-3 solid contenders for each sex before we head to the hospital and then decide for sure when we see the baby.
*Questions, concerns or other? Echoing somebody else who said being in that space post-first tri symptoms and pre-feeling baby move is odd. PGAL brain sucks sometimes even in second tri -- can't wait until I can feel this little one wiggling around.
